American Society of Civil Engineers
The Tarleton State University ASCE Student Chapter is one of the 416 student chapters that represent the values and leadership of the American Society of Civil Engineers. The society promotes the advancement of civil engineering through civil engineering publications, advancement of codes and standards aimed to protect the public, endorsement for infrastructure and engineering policy and ethics, and through professional conferences and continuing education.
The ASCE Student Chapter aims to continue the promotion of values upheld by the Society through a welcoming environment open to socialization, collaboration, and networking. Members of the Chapter are presented with an opportunity to gain technical, soft, and interpersonal skills that are fundamental in the profession through hands-on engagement. This engagement comes from regional and national competition, such as the ASCE Symposium where students are tasked with building concrete canoes, steel bridges, mystery designs, concrete bowling balls, and various other tasks.
Meetings and Networking Opportunities
Members are presented with networking opportunities through monthly civil engineering firm presentations where they are provided opportunities to network with current civil engineering’s that share their real-world experience in the profession. Furthermore, the Chapter offers bi-weekly meetings where members have the opportunity to further engage in the chapter by staying informed of current chapter events and by sharing ideas they would like to see implemented within the chapter. Any major is welcomed and encouraged to participate!
Texan Rocketry
MCOE Competition Rocketry Team
Texan Rocketry is the Mayfield College of Engineering’s competition rocketry team, operating under AIAA. We compete in competitions such as NASA’s University Student Launch Initiative and the International Rocket Engineering Competition. As a part of these competitions, the team designs, builds, tests, reports on, and launches a fully functioning rocket that conducts a payload experiment. The team mainly consists of seniors that are using the rocket as their Capstone project, but we welcome everyone and would love to teach any student the full process of rocket engineering: researching, reporting, budgeting, designing, simulating, testing, and construction.
